Hi how do i calculate the time difference, I’m currently creating a out of office zap and our office hours are from 09:00am to 17:00.

 

I’m currently using Woocommerce and i would like to send an email to the customer  if they order outside our operation hours and in that email i like to have a calculated field into how many hours left until we are back in office.

 

How would i go about it, i haven’t found a solution that works yet.

We are currently out of the office, however we will respond to your order as soon as we return in the next (insert calculated field ) hours.

Hi @kingph 

Good question.

Might it be simpler to use this sort of messaging instead:

We are currently out of the office, however we will respond to your order as soon as we return during our normal business hours of 9:00am to 5:00pm.

 

Or you can try using this Zap step: Formatter > Date / Time > Compare Date
